    You should be able to get the Y coordinate by this line of code

    char1 = Characters["name1"].CharacterPosition
char2 = Characters["name2"].CharacterPosition

    You could then compare them like that

    IF char2.y >= (char1.y-10) AND char2.y <= (char1.y+10) THEN

    To be in a range of 10, or if you want it to be exact

    IF char1.y == char2.y THEN

    For the bullet i suppose you could use animation, first you would start the animation

    startAnimation(Animations["bullet"])

    Then you would set the position for the animation based on where the character currently is

    ActiveAnimations["bullet"].CurrentPosition = { x = char1.x, y = (char1.y-X)}

    // You would need to calc the number of pixels you want to offeset the bullet for the X
    And you could then animate the bullet with the To function

    ActiveAnimations["bullet"]:to(200, { CurrentPosition = { x = char2.x, y = (char1.y-X)} }, easeQuintOut)

    And i'm not sure if this would actually work, i didn't test it, but hopefully it will give you an idea.

    I'll try it .

    Only a question : Does Bullet sprite move and collison with another character in your codes?

    No there's no collision.

    char1 = Characters["name1"].CharacterPosition

char2 = Characters["name2"].CharacterPosition

startAnimation(Animations["bullet"])
ActiveAnimations["bullet"].CurrentPosition = { x = char1.x, y = (char1.y-X)}
ActiveAnimations["bullet"]:to(200, { CurrentPosition = { x = char2.x, y = (char1.y-X)} }, easeQuintOut)

WAIT FOR 200 ms


IF char2.y >= (char1.y-10) AND char2.y <= (char1.y+10) THEN

    --collison code / anything you want

ENDIF

    I suppose you could just wait for these 200 ms or the time wou would set for the bullet movement. The bullet is being moved to the X position of the second character, so when it's on the place it should be the "collision".
    This is of course just a really simple solution. It depends on what you are really trying to achieve there. You will need to be creative though as there are no collisions built directly in Visionaire.
